The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book in the 11th century. The meaning of the place name is uncertain, however suggestions have included "a thorn bush beside a pathway" and "a peacock shaped thorn bush".[5]Historically, Paythorne was in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and before it became a parish, it was a township in the parish of Gisburn.[6]
In the 2001 census, Paythorne had a population of 95,[1] however in 2011 the parish was grouped with Newsholme and Horton (2001 pop. 50 and 76), giving a total of 253.[7][2] From the 2011 Census population details had been included in Newsholme parish.
